Sorry I missed this! Too much family this weekend...

Yes, there are shims, sorry, I'm a little behind on my posts, but the shims look like this: 20151017_091353 by G2WANIT, on Flickr With this new door aligning so poorly I ended up putting both of my old shims on the bottom hinge and that worked pretty well. I also figured out if you remove...

Thank you, the setup works pretty well for me - I'm sure it does for you too! So I'm having trouble hanging this new used door and getting it to line up right with the striker and door jam... I can't see that the body is tweaked and the door is straight. My old door was working perfectly and...

So, after I got home I parked my Heep in the garage and it pretty much sat there for the next 12 months while I finished a kitchen remodel and put in a hardwood floor... Coming up next month I'm committed to taking a rock crawling club from work down to Moab so it's time to get back to some...

But there's no time for BS-ing about it, we had a lot of trail left! Time to carry on: IMG_3941 by G2WANIT, on Flickr We finally pulled out of Pritchett and I snagged the obligatory "You made it!" shot: IMAG1182 by G2WANIT, on Flickr Funny thing is you're still a LONG WAY from a real road...

Fall fling (2014) was a blast. A total blast. Rode some great trails with some great guys and had a lot of fun. It just started a little rough for me... So on my first trail day there was a group running Pritchett Canyon and they wanted me to jump in with them. That sounded good to me and...

So fast forward to Fall Fling 2014 and I was headed down to Moab to participate in the activities. The XJ had been overheating on the highway (I've never had a problem on the trail...) so I started replacing some items. started easy with the thermostat and new housing - I opted to drill a hold...

Well, I suppose I'm overdue for an update or two... So shortly after I installed my rock rings our chapter went for a snow run up Providence Canyon near Logan, Utah. Unfortunately it had snowed much too early in November and then a warm spell melted much of it and then we had cold and a little...

I absolutely agree regarding the Utah Safety handbook and beadlocks... However, in practical application that hasn't helped too much! When the inspector wants to know if they are beadlocks and then tells me he won't pass me on safety if they are, I'm SOL regardless of what the handbook says. I...

Take this for what it is - I've never owned a full-hydro rig. that being said, everything I've read suggests that on the street they are passable but not a good idea. (Also, I think illegal when configured with a double sided ram in the center?) The exception was a setup I saw in a magazine...

It's in the user manual under Warnings and Precautions to the operator. It's the Truetrac specific manual, not their general locker manual...

Just another vote for ARB. I had a True track in my 8.25, it came with my rig. Great for mild wheeling but was lacking for more than that. It slips and gives way too soon. Also, mine was only rated for up to 31s. Lastly, it is technically not a locker but limited slip. The gears bind on the...

It also decreases the number of times the compressor fires up on the trail when using your lockers since your not operating your entire system right at the range you need it for the ARBs. Now common XJeeper, I know for a fact you have at least another half-dozen updates you haven't posted...

I learned to weld pretty much the exact same way! When I did my 2x6 rockers I found that the best way to attach the 3/16" to the sheet metal was to put a straight bead on the 3/16 2x6 about 1/16" away from the sheet metal and just let it bleed onto the sheet metal. That seemed to be enough to...

So, I'm pretty much a cheap-tool kinda guy, love me some Harbor Freight ... most of the time. I've made a few exceptions over the years - at various father's days (which coincides with my Birthday) I've had my wife get me a Craftsman mechanics tool set (all 8-point sockets) and a set of...

If you're not going to change your driving style then you need the tons. The D44 will take some hits on 37s, but won't hold up to what you're describing. Or not for long anyway... you'll keep pushing your weak point down the line until you're breaking the R&P. BUT, cage first...

How's the driver's side rear quarter panel on that black one? The green one lools like the glass is blown out?

Keep your eye on Car-Part.com - I've seen them pop up along the Wasatch front for around $600 IIRC.

Need a new driver's door and rear hatch, I'm hoping that someone has my color so I don't have to paint... It's "Patriot Blue" - you know, the dark blue that 80% of the 2000's were painted (and it started flaking off the hood and roof around year 2006...) Like this: Let me know if you have...
